The advert paradox, anyone willing to spend money to avoid ads is inherently worth more to advertisers, since they're willing to spend money. The more money you're willing to pay to avoid ads the more you're worth to advertis

It's a shame there aren't any good Chinese search engines. From what I've read the Chinese internet is mostly centralised around a few apps like WeChat.

Any reason you can't just add whatever is missing from the British flour?

Since you have deja vu, you could add Jamais vu, the opposite. Also prosopagnosia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosopagnosia

The feed options sound good in principle, although I expect the implementation to be deliberately hobbled. I've tried Facebook's existing (well hidden) chronological feed and it turns out there's so much spam in local groups

Have fable "accidentally" escape containment and publish it.

I would add it was also completely ineffective since the site in question was hosted on wordpress.com, which is about as likely to work as ddosing Google.

At the very least it would be reckless.

How does MIT build any more trust than a copyleft licence like AGPL? At the very least AGPL stops people "stealing" your work without contributing back their changes?

How hard would it be to do the opposite? point a camera at the stars in multiple directions, recognise the angle of various constellations, and use that to work out your location?

Jujutsu is apparently the name of a version control system, for anyone else confused how the creator of a thousand year old martial art had joined them.
